Re: [Pharo-project] String to Number conversion

Maybe the parser should have a #readXXX for each #nextXXX. And let the #readXXX check the for the end of the stream.

Re: [Pharo-project] Fwd: Alien install issue?

by Luc Fabresse

Hi all, I had no problem to install Alien on Pharo 1.1 with ConfigurationOfAlien: Gofer new squeaksource: 'Alien'; package: 'ConfigurationOfAlien'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfAlien) project version: 'Pharo 1.1') load: {'Core' . 'Tests' . 'LibC'. 'MacOSX'} All 40 tests are green. Here the version number of the installed packages: - ConfigurationOfAlien-KenTreis.26 - Alien-Core-JoachimGeidel.64 - Alien-CoreTest-F_Olivero.22 - Alien-Examples-F_Olivero.2 - Alien-LibC-mha.9 - Alien-MacOSX-AppKit-John_M_McIntosh.1 - Alien-MacOSX-Core-John_M_McIntosh.2 - Alien-MacOSX-Examples-John_M_McIntosh.1 - Alien-Prereqs-KenTreis.5 Luc 2010/8/26 Mariano Martinez Peck <marianopeck(a)gmail.com> > > > On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 3:38 PM, Noury Bouraqadi <bouraqadi(a)gmail.com>wrote: > >> It seems that the ConfigurationOfAlien is broken. >> >> I tried on a Pharo-1.1-11411-dev10.07.01 image and got the same failure. >> It does not seem to load the most recent packages. >> >> I then loaded the packages one by one using the monticello repository >> browser >> And all tests are green (on Mac). >> >> > Remember you can alwasys say Metacello to load all the latests version.

Re: [Pharo-project] String to Number conversion

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

'3foo' asInteger probably should fail, because there is no stream to be tested for #atEnd. Reading '3foo' from a stream *probably* should be ok by default, becauuse the stream will clearly not be a the end, one could easily want to read integers out of formatted strings. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Johan Brichau [johan(a)inceptive.be] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2010 8:43 AM To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] String to Number conversion On 25 Aug 2010, at 09:26, StÃ©phane Ducasse wrote: >> Did you mean to let the dirty stuff to #squeezeOutNumber and throw the error in the #readFrom:? > > Yes. Now we should identify user of readFrom: that in fact are expecting squeezeOutNumber and fix them. Well, it seems that the current readFrom: only requires the string to _start_ with a valid format. This means that: '3foo' asInteger = 3 Should we not fail here too? What are the opinions?

Re: [Pharo-project] hasInstanceVariableNamed: hasClassVariableNamed:

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

I tend to agree but not quite :) Size is not the only criteria. Consistency is another really important one. And also tested code because there are plenty of methods that are not that difficult to rewrite all the time in client code but you want to use them because another guys spent time to write them and test them. And yes I started to read Class and Behavior and I want to clean that. As soon as Opal gets into pharo we will clean, clean, clean.

It seems that the ConfigurationOfAlien is broken. I tried on a Pharo-1.1-11411-dev10.07.01 image and got the same failure. It does not seem to load the most recent packages. I then loaded the packages one by one using the monticello repository browser And all tests are green (on Mac).
